Description : My first shot at recording a song. All guitar, bass and vocals are played by me. Drums were created in a electronic program, rhythm was created by me. I know the vocals are terrible, please leave a comment on how to improve. Thanks a million!

The introduction is long but it draws you in and makes you want to listen some more. Excellent playing and well recorded and your voice should be pushed a bit further forward in the mix - it's good. A harder drum sound and further forward in the mix would work better for me but I have to say this is great track. Well done. Keep it going. Look forward to hearing more from you.

Best regards

This is a great track..and you vocals a pretty good too.

I have a few suggestions but shoot me comment to let me know how you recorded this. I think you can take it from a Demo sound to pro.

Were your guitar effects done while recording or after (Per or post)

If it is post like mine using a VST there are a few tricks you can do to make them sound more full. If they were recorded with the effect already on then you can do some duplication and change the EQ to get a more full sound.

Same for the vocals..they need cleaned up a bit in production but you have a good sound. Most of the people that sing do multiple takes of the same track and layer it. I know you buried it a bit because you are not confident in it but you can do the same. And it will clean it up and make it sound more full.

You need to master the track to get all the levels correct.

I do everything myself as well but haven't ventured into the singing part...as I am horrible..lol. Take a listen to my track it is similar style and see if you like the mix. Overall this is one of the best rock tracks I have heard on here. Keep it up

great track! possibly one of my most favorite tracks ive heard thus far. i like that you recorded alot of it, i mean for the most part the instruments a very well recorded, i cant hear any excess feedback or static

i would recommend a little work on the EQ but as is is pretty damn good. your voice is really nice as well, though i think if you downloaded a vst such as Excite or xcita(both are free and should be fairly easy to find using a search engine) it would definitely improve the recording quality of the vox.

i really like the guitars, but could use a limiter on them, because some parts are louder than others and its a little distracting from the song
the bass could use some EQ in my opinion
and i ##### if the drums were compressed more, maybe not so much louder but more for clarity-wise

again though i really enjoyed listening to the track, has a lot of emotion put into it instrumentally and vocally, though i couldnt understand much of the lyrics because the vox were kinda so far in the background between the guitars i still liked the quality of your voice

i hope to later hear the finished product! great job and good luck!

Description : For some odd reason, the titular acapella I used for this remix had vanished from Looperman. Luckily, I saved it before it disappeared.

Anyway, props to Stephanie Kay for this acapella! I've always wanted to remix Stars Collide, but I never got around to finally making a good instrumental for it. The acapella was akin to that of Genki Rockets' work (ESPECIALLY the lyrics), so I tried to retain the same vibe. Enjoy!

Description : This is a worship song celebrating God's beautiful creation, unfailing grace, and boundless love. It reflects on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the gift of salvation, and the light of God that shines even in the deepest darkness. It is a reminder to rise each day with gratitude and give praise to the One who saves, guides, and sustains us.
